Podcasts about no outsiders

This Sunday's service was a bit different, and the podcast will reflect that. Instead of chairs facing forwards, we had groups split up into separate tables, with 4-8 people at each table. Each table discussed questions and experiencedcommunion as a small group. If you're listening to this later on, we highly encourage you to experience communion as you're able – ... Read More

Our friend Betty had an unusual little personal business: she put on birthday parties for kids. She brought a pony for the children to ride, and a petting zoo of baby animals, including some little yellow chicks...which you don't ride. Actually she would rescue those chicks from a company whose business is chicken. They've told her that they have to remove any chicks that are speckled or spotted, and she was willing to take some of those and raise them on her farm. The reason that company has to remove those chicks is because of what the other chickens will do to any chick who has an imperfection. They literally will peck them to death. Pity the one who is not like all the others! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "No Outsiders." I wish this business of rejecting the ones who are different was just a chicken thing. Unfortunately, it's very much a people thing, too. In fact, in your personal world - where you work, where you go to school, or in your community - I'm sure there's someone who is feeling rejected because they're perceived to be "different." Most of the time, they feel like "the outsider." We all know what that feeling is. If you belong to Jesus Christ, your mission is to do what our friend does with those spotted chicks - to give life to someone who's being rejected because they're different. Why? Because that's how your Master lived His life, and you're supposed to be following Him. Listen, for example, to our word for today from the Word of God beginning in Luke 18:39. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus hears that Jesus is passing his way, and he begins to yell loudly for Jesus to show him mercy, which is more than anyone else did for this man, because he lived on the margins. They saw the nuisance. Not Jesus; he saw the need. It says, "Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and ordered the man brought to Him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 'What do you want Me to do for you?' 'Lord, I want to see,' he replied." And with a touch from Jesus, He did. This is so typical of the way Jesus operated wherever He went. He walked past the cheering crowd to find the one person who needed Him most - usually someone that everyone else was treating like an outsider. Whether it was blind Bartimaeus, the hated tax collector Zacchaeus, or the sinful woman nobody else wanted to be seen with, Jesus was always there for the outsider. Are you? To Jesus, and hopefully to those of us who follow Him, the outsiders are actually the VIPs! There's someone in your world who's feeling like the outsider right now. You might work with them. You might go to school with them. They might be in your town. They might be in your church. They might be in your own family. I'm just praying that the Lord will literally bring that person, or those persons, to your mind right now because He wants you to be His arms to go and bring that person in from the lonely margins that people have sentenced them to. Remember, the One you serve looks on the heart, not on the outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:7). And if you've been the outsider, you of all people should want to dedicate yourself to making sure no one else has that awful feeling. You can begin to heal some of your own pain by finding some people who need your attention because they are all around you. Slowly but surely, a cruel, selfish world is emotionally pecking to death some people who are within your reach, and it's breaking your Savior's heart. Will you open your arms to them so they can taste the love of the Savior who doesn't consider anyone an outsider? After all, when Jesus was here, He was the outsider.

In March 2019 crowds of parents gathered outside a primary school in central Birmingham. The angry, placard carrying mob tapped their feet and welded signs reading “My child, my choice”, “let kids be kids”   Their concern?

This week it's all about LGBTQ inclusive education teaching tolerance to young people in school. Andrew Moffat, the man behind 'No Outsiders' a programme which teaches about equality and tolerance of different families and relationships joins us. Andrew is the Assistant Head Teacher at Parkfield School in Birmingham, UK which has experienced anti-LGBTQ demonstrations outside the school gates against the education. We also replay our interview with Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, Head Teacher at Anderton Park Primary School which has also experienced protests because of equality lessons and had to get a High Court injunction to stop the protests happening directly outside the school. Also - Sam talks about a U.S. state which has made LGBTQ+ history lessons mandatory and the Wizard of Oz 80th anniversary - Sam has a few words for the Scarecrow!

“You say we are homophobic, we say you are Islamophobic”. These were the words of a protester outside a primary school in Birmingham which has found itself on the front line of a culture war. Parents, many of them Muslim, have been protesting against a programme called, “No Outsiders.” According to the school’s website the programme teaches that “Everyone is welcome, regardless of their race, religion, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation and age.” The protesters claim that the “No Outsiders” curriculum is pushing a pro LGBT agenda and that this contradicts their religious beliefs. The school rejects their claim. The issue is not going to go away. From September next year, all primary schools are compelled to teach Relationship Education and parents at a number of other schools have raised concerns. At the heart of the matter is a clash of rights, a tension between the need to protect LGBT rights while accommodating certain religious convictions. How do you adjudicate between competing rights? In a plural, liberal democracy how do get along with respect and difference? Joining Ernie Rea to discuss those questions are Yusuf Patel, Founder of SRE Islamic, an organisation which provides advice, support and training to parents concerned with how Sex and Relationship Education is taught in schools; Dr David Landrum, Director of Advocacy at the Evangelical Alliance; and Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of Humanists UK.

Andrew teaches at Parkfield Community School near the deprived Bordesley Green area of Birmingham, which is home to a considerable mix of ethnicities and where over nine in ten pupils speak English as an additional language. His “No Outsiders” programme teaches inclusiveness and diversity. Andrew has extended this ethos to parents through the use of parent/child workshops and he has extended the programme, with schools taking forward “No Outsiders” in many cities across the UK. Andrew now also uses “No Outsiders” as a tool to reduce the potential for radicalization. Andrew also runs a “Parkfield Ambassadors” after-school club that creates opportunities for children at his school where 99% of students are Muslim to meet others of different races, religions and cultures around Birmingham. Take a class with one of the top 10 finalists for the 2019 Global Teacher Prize. Each live, 30-minute lesson will showcase the different methods, learnings and values that helped to secure the teacher's place in the final of the US$1 million prize.   #GESF @VarkeyFDN

The No Outsiders programme was created in 2014 by Andrew Moffat, the assistant headteacher at Parkfield Community School in Birmingham. The programme aims to teach children about the characteristics protected by the Equality Act - such as sexual orientation and religion. Books used in the programme include stories about a dog that doesn't feel like it fits in, two male penguins that raise a chick together and a boy who likes to dress up like a mermaid. But some parents at Parkfield Community School in Birmingham say lessons featuring books depicting same-sex relationships are not age-appropriate.  The lessons have created a furious debate, involving court injunctions and many pages of opinion columns.  The debate ultimately raises the big question about to what extent societies need to share the same values, and how those values are communicated to the next generation. Does a cohesive society have to uphold a shared and single version of the Good?  Or is okay for views on this topic to diverge? Should there be many different schools teaching different perspectives? Is it right for a state education system to impose a particular set of moral values on everyone, even if we are sympathetic to them? To what extent should the state shape and determine attitudes and feelings, and thought? Joining the IEA's digital manager Darren Grimes to discuss is Joanna Williams, associate editor at spiked and Benjamin Butterworth, Weekend Editor and reporter for the i newspaper. 

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5662INGHILTERRA FUORI CONTROLLO: 5 MEDICI SI DIMETTONO PER NON ESSERE COMPLICI DEI TRAUMI DEGLI ESPERIMENTI TRANSGENDER SU BAMBINI di Luca MarcolivioLa fortezza del gender battente bandiera britannica, fino a ieri inespugnabile, inizia a mostrare le prime crepe. È di un paio di settimane fa la clamorosa inchiesta del Times, scaturita dalle rivelazioni di cinque medici inglesi che hanno rassegnato le dimissioni dal Gender Indenty Development Service (Gids) di Londra, l'unica clinica d'Oltremanica specializzata nel curare la disforia di genere nei minori. Il motivo? I trattamenti ormonali e chirurgici per gli adolescenti sarebbero condotti in modo arbitrario e senza veri criteri scientifici.In altre parole, migliaia di bambini e ragazzi sono oggetto di un "esperimento" sulla loro pelle. I medici dimissionari, secondo quanto da loro affermato al Times, avrebbero ricevuto pressioni da parte di associazioni Lgbt - una su tutte, Mermaids - per la somministrazione di trattamenti ormonali irreversibili, per il blocco dello sviluppo sessuale secondo il genere di nascita. In alcuni casi, tali trattamenti iniziano addirittura a soli tre anni, quindi, verosimilmente per il capriccio dei genitori di volere un bambino transgender. A sedici anni, poi, secondo il protocollo, inizierebbe la somministrazione di ormoni del sesso opposto.Molti dei giovanissimi pazienti, nella sostanza, sarebbero stati avviati forzosamente verso la transizione ormonale irreversibile, senza dare loro la possibilità di una terapia alternativa di carattere psicologico e non farmacologico. Secondo le testimonianze, alcuni bambini ancora in conflitto con la propria identità sessuale, venivano identificati frettolosamente come transgender.«Negli ultimi due anni del mio lavoro, ho avuto la sensazione che un gran numero di bambini fosse in pericolo», ha confidato uno dei medici intervistati. «Io ero lì per proteggere i bambini dall'essere danneggiati». Un altro medico ha dichiarato: «Questo trattamento sperimentale è stato compiuto anche su bambini molto vulnerabili». Per i cinque medici, l'unica motivazione a non rassegnare inizialmente le dimissioni, era stata quella di evitare ai loro giovani pazienti un cambio di sesso giudicato troppo avventato.Parere unanime dei cinque (anche se in tutta la clinica, il numero di medici dimessisi per gli stessi motivi è pari a diciotto) è che tale «trattamento sperimentale» si sia rivelato «dannoso». Accuse respinte dalla struttura sanitaria. «Cerchiamo di aiutare i giovani e le loro famiglie a far fronte all'angoscia e a ridurla», è stata la replica ufficiale sul sito della (Gids). «Il nostro obiettivo è comprendere gli ostacoli che si frappongono tra i giovani e lo sviluppo di un'identità di genere più stabile e sicura».Ai cinque medici era assegnato il compito di decidere a quali pazienti somministrare i bloccanti ormonali per arrestarne lo sviluppo sessuale. Alcuni dei bambini e ragazzi sarebbero stati indotti ad avviare il trattamento dopo essere stati vittime di bullismo omofobico. Alcuni di loro tenderebbero ad assumere un'attitudine trans, con l'obiettivo più o meno consapevole di superare traumi come l'abuso o il lutto in famiglia o anche le conseguenze dello spettro autistico. Sono complessivamente 2519 i giovani mandati presso la clinica per avviare la terapia per il cambio di sesso. Nel 2010 erano stati "appena" 94.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie dalla Gran Bretagna sul "gaio" mondo gay (sempre meno gaio).IL PRINCIPE HARRY SUPPORTA UNA LOBBY PRO BABY TRANSL'organizzazione inglese Sirene, che si occupa di bambini trans per facilitarsi nella cosiddetta transizione di genere, ha annunciato che il principe Harry appoggerà tramite la Royal Foundation le loro attività. La direttrice di Sirene Susie Green ha così commentato: "Penso che sia sempre molto importante per i giovani vedere le persone autorevoli e credibili come il Principe Harry supportarli e aiutarli"E così le lobby favorevoli al transessualismo dei bambini hanno trovato un testimonial reale.(Gender Watch News, 10 maggio 2019)ALCUNI MASCHI POSSONO AVERE IL CICLO (???)A Brighton un consiglio di insegnanti ha partorito un report di educazione sessuale dedicato agli studenti in cui si afferma che "le mestruazioni devono includere tutti i sessi", questo perché "Trans, ragazzi e uomini e persone 'non binary' possono avere il ciclo". Ovviamente ci si riferisce a donne diventate transessuali o donne che non si sentono né femmine né maschi. E dunque gli insegnanti hanno pensato bene di mettere il contenitore per gettare gli assorbenti in tutti i bagni anche in quelli maschili.Gli insegnanti hanno spiegato così questa delirante iniziativa: "Incoraggiando un'educazione efficace sulle mestruazioni e sulla pubertà, speriamo di ridurre lo stigma e garantire che nessun bambino o giovane si vergogni di chiedere prodotti per le mestruazioni all'interno o all'esterno della scuola se ne hanno bisogno. Il nostro metodo riconosce il fatto che alcune persone che hanno il ciclo sono trans o non binari".Dunque avere il ciclo sarebbe uno stigma sociale. Per essere tutti uguali, tutti, maschi compresi, devono essere in grado di avere le mestruazioni. Purtroppo non siamo tutti uguali, a partire dall'intelligenza.(Gender Watch News, 5 gennaio 2019)LICENZIATA DALLA SCUOLA PERCHÉ CONTESTA I CORSI LGBT RIVOLTI AL SUO BAMBINOLa sua "colpa" è stata criticare sulla sua pagina Facebook dei corsi imbevuti di propaganda Lgbt, adottati dalla scuola elementare frequentata dal figlio e facente capo alla Chiesa anglicana. Per questa ragione una quarantatreenne inglese, Kristie Higgs, madre di due bambini e sincera cristiana, è stata licenziata dalla scuola secondaria di Fairford (Inghilterra meridionale), la Farmor's School, in cui ha lavorato negli ultimi sei anni come assistente pastorale. Il licenziamento è arrivato nonostante il curriculum della Higgs fosse senza macchia, come riferisce il Daily Mail.I guai per la signora Higgs sono iniziati dopo aver pubblicato un post su Facebook, datato 24 ottobre 2018, in cui esortava i suoi contatti a firmare una petizione di Citizen Go contro l'educazione sessuale obbligatoria nelle scuole primarie, che secondo i piani del governo sarà effettiva da settembre 2020. «Stanno facendo il lavaggio del cervello ai nostri figli», scriveva la donna, avvertendo che ai bambini sarebbe stato insegnato che le relazioni omosessuali sono normali ed equivalenti al matrimonio, nonché la possibilità di "scegliere" il proprio sesso, a prescindere dal dato biologico. La Higgs esplicitava poi la conseguenza logica di un simile indottrinamento obbligatorio: «Significa che esprimere e insegnare le fondamentali credenze cristiane, relative alla creazione degli uomini e delle donne e al matrimonio, diverrà in pratica proibito, perché esse confliggono con la nuova moralità [...]». E aggiungeva che «questa è una tremenda forma di totalitarismo mirata a sopprimere il cristianesimo e rimuoverlo dalla sfera pubblica». Un'analisi che si può sottoscrivere per quanto è lucida.In un altro post la Higgs contestava due libri inclusi nel curriculum della scuola del suo bambino e pieni di omosessualismo e transessualismo (il titolo di uno dei due volumi dice già tutto: Reclaiming radical ideas in schools), scritti da un attivista Lgbt, Andrew Moffat, nell'ambito del programma No Outsiders, lo stesso già contestato dalle famiglie di una scuola elementare di Birmingham e sospeso perché allora, a chiedere lo stop dell'indottrinamento arcobaleno verso i propri figli, erano intervenuti un gran numero di genitori musulmani.Il procedimento disciplinare contro la Higgs è iniziato dopo la ricezione di un'email anonima in cui veniva accusata di «postare opinioni omofobe e preconcette». L'istituto, che adopera immagini e campagne comunicative del tutto prone all'ideologia arcobaleno, ha quindi fatto la sua bella indagine sui due post pubblicati via Facebook (che risultavano visibili solo agli amici della donna), arrivando al licenziamento della signora Higgs per condotta riprovevole, dettata da «discriminazione illegale», «grave uso inappropriato dei social media», «commenti online che potrebbero portare cattiva fama alla scuola e danneggiare la reputazione della scuola». Una criminale, probabilmente, sarebbe stata trattata meglio. Già dall'inizio dell'indagine, riferisce la madre inglese, «mi è stato ripetutamente detto: "Questo non ha nulla a che fare con la tua religione". Era chiaramente una tattica legale e ovviamente qui tutto ha a che fare con la mia religione».La Higgs ha chiesto aiuto legale al Christian Concern, un gruppo che si batte per la libertà di fede dei cristiani, e ha deciso di fare causa alla Farmor's School per licenziamento ingiusto. Non possiamo sapere come andrà a finire ma intanto un fatto è evidente: una madre e onesta lavoratrice ha perso il suo lavoro per aver manifestato delle idee di assoluto buonsenso, che erano ritenute scontate appena qualche anno fa ma che nelle nostre progreditissime società, sottomesse alla fantomatica tolleranza del "love is love", sono divenute motivo di persecuzione.(Ermes Dovico, La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, 27 aprile 2019)

The primary school teacher at the centre of a row over LGBT rights has said he's received threats. Pupils have been pulled out of Parkfield School in Birmingham and parents have protested outside the school gates, chanting 'Say no to No Outsiders'. No Outsiders is the programme Andrew Moffat designed to teach pupils to be accepting of different types of people - despite their race, religion or sexuality. Some story books he uses feature families with two mothers or two fathers. He says he designed the programme so that no child has to hide who they are as he did when he was young.

The following is not a hypothetical scenario. Your four-year old daughter comes home from school and says, “I can wear my brother's clothes and he can wear mine. I can change my name to a boy's name.” Again, this scenario is not hypothetical. This is exactly what happened to British mum Mariam Ahmed recently. According to the UK Telegraph, Ahmed immediately checked with the parents of other children who attend the same school. Many, according to Ahmed, “had the same story to tell.” They learned that their Birmingham school, Parkview Community School, was participating in the “No Outsiders” program. The goal of the program is to “raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues” for children ages 4 through 11. “No Outsider” was launched by Parkview Community's assistant headmaster, Andrew Moffatt, an openly gay educator who's received awards from the Queen for “services to equality and diversity in education.” Now, as you might have guessed by the name, Ahmed is a Muslim. In fact, Parkview Community School is 98 percent Muslim. And as you may have guessed, most Muslim parents take a pretty dim view of this kind of thing. They believe that such programs aren't really about “raising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues,” but more about the “sexual indoctrination” of their children. As Tariq Iqbal, the father of two children at Parkview Community told Britain's iNews: “My children and nieces and nephews are going around school corridors, hearing it's okay to be gay or lesbian. We don't have an issue with the orientation. That's a personal concern and a personal debate. But what we're not happy with is the way that they're drumming it into the children.” For many, like Mohammed Aslam, age is an issue. Aslam reports that his daughter, age six, came home from school one day confused and crying. “She said she was told children can have two mummies and two daddies,” and that she can wear boys' clothes. In response, the Muslim community has decided not to take this indoctrination lying down. Ahmed started a petition against the “No Outsiders” program. Parents organized a protest outside the school, which has been going on for weeks. On one Friday, 600 of the school's 740 families kept their children at home. Now those from other communities are joining in the protest. Dr. Lisa Nolland, a Christian professional, drove from Bristol to congratulate the Muslim parents for “showing the way” on how to deal with indoctrination. As Nolland told the Telegraph, “This isn't about religion, it isn't even about parents, it's about what's best for kids . . . This is literally eroticising child development. This is damaging children. The numbers of child-on-child sex abuse are awful. Turn the volume down.” While the Parkview parents have in some measure succeeded—the school has temporarily suspended the program—the national attention garnered by the protests has not been always favorable. For instance, one Muslim politician who sided with the parents and said the students were “too young” to be taught about homosexuality, “has since apologised for his comments and has been formally reported to Birmingham City Council's Standards Committee by Conservative councillor Gareth Moore, who is gay.” Commenting on the situation, Rod Dreher at the American Conservative wrote, “Notice that the parents, even though they believe homosexuality is immoral, do not object to age-sensitive treatment of the issue in schools. What they object to is this gender ideology being jammed down the throats of their young ones.” That critical distinction is crucial for American parents as well. The Muslims in Birmingham realize that British society accepts homosexuality and there's no way their children can avoid the issue. But these parents insist that the indoctrination, especially at such a young age, must stop. American parents can learn from this, and also insist, forcefully and civilly and no matter the pushback, that the government stop indoctrinating and sexualizing our children.     http://www.breakpoint.org/2019/03/breakpoint-eroticising-children/

A study published this month and authored by self-described "critical race scholar-activists" Katie Ishizuka of The Conscious Kid Library and University of California Ph.D. student Ramón Stephens dives into such allegedly problematic and racist facets of Seuss and his work. The study is aptly titled, "The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti- Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss's Children's Books." Parkfield Community School in Birmingham, England had classes in which a program titled “No Outsiders” taught that “families look different,” in an effort to teach schoolchildren about homosexuality. The program was pulled after the school received a petition last month with over 400 signatures from parents, mostly Muslim, who have withdrawn their children from the school in protest. Saikat Chakrabarti, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, allegedly funneled over $1 million in political donations to his own private companies, according to a new complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows. Listen live, join the chatroom, be a part of the show.

Sunday, June 3, 2018 | Ruth: Poverty, Privilege, & the Presence of God | Rev. Michelle Matthews preaches on Ruth 1. The story of Ruth is a story of failure. Listen as Michelle suggests that the DC metro fear of failure is in fact a sign of privilege, and as Naomi Evans shares her testimony about her work with the Coalition for Juvenile Justice. The band leads us in a song based on Ruth 1, "I Will Follow," and our new theme song for the series, "No Outsiders."

God will always give us what we need to do what he has asked us to do.

Will and Chris share a drink with a Homo Sapiens listener and find out their story. This week it's David from London who tells them about coming out at the age of 42 when he was married with 3 children. Plus - your feedback on the last episode, Wormhole of the Week and someone wins the Homo Sapiens T-shirt. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As an assistant headteacher, Andrew Moffat has introduced a policy promoting diversity at Parkfield community school in Birmingham. His No Outsiders message teaches children to welcome those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender as well as people of any race, colour or religion. It’s been a huge success - parents, teachers and governors support Andrew’s work despite 98% of the school’s pupils being Muslim. In this episode Will and Chris travel to the school to meet him and learn how his efforts to spread LGBT awareness and understanding haven’t always been appreciated: Andrew left his previous school after parents complained about him telling the children he was gay. He tells Will and Chris what he learned from this experience and how he convinced Parkfield’s parents that children can be taught about Britain’s anti-discrimination laws without undermining their religious beliefs. Plus - listeners tell us their memories of school, Chris has been finding out about surrogacy and Will remembers a very awkward evening involving a video of Neighbours and a dog basket.

Acts 11:1-18English Standard Version (ESV) Peter Reports to the Church 11 Now the apostles and the brothers[a] who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party[b] criticized him, saying, 3 “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.” 4 But Peter began and explained it to them in order: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me. 6 Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’ 9 But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’ 10 This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven. 11 And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea. 12 And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house. 13 And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter; 14 he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’ 15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?” 18 When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
